Cricket World Cup 2011

[PaulWinch again]

As I said, I don't like us batting first.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to remember New Zealand yesterday, they struggled. But they good some runs on the board and then bowled really well.

Down to Trott, Bopara and Morgan

[PaulWinch again]

I'm not sure if it's just England, but this pitch looks very tough to score on.

[spangley1812]

Looks pretty slow

[Dave Cooper please]

England can make the flattest pitch look tough to score on!

Looks like a 250ish pitch to me but then again I know bugger all really!

[PaulWinch again]

Ravi has the talent, but I worry about his running.

[PaulWinch again]

bloody hell Bopara, reel it in a bit

[PaulWinch again]

Hmm Bopara has a touch of the Strauss's about him here.

[spangley1812]

what was that appeal about..........they should lose a review for that

[PaulWinch again]

Review not out, but Bopara needs to sort himself out here.

[spangley1812]

Struggled to 50............need 200 more now

[PaulWinch again]

Better running, put pressure on the fielders.

Struggled to 50............need 200 more now

230 would be enough on this pitch. I think Sri Lanka's bowling is much better than their batting.

Whatever happens we are going to have to bowl well, none of this throwing away about 50/60 runs in the first 6 overs.
